TheStar Wars universe, or should I say galaxy, grows every year. At this point, the films make up a small fraction of all the content out there featuring the Force, Jedi, space battles, and all the rest. Besides the video games likeStar Wars Outlaws, Disney has been allowing fans to explore new corners of this franchise through different series. While we lament the loss ofThe Acolyte after just one season, we have a lot more faith that Skeleton Crew can be the hit we all want it to be.
If you just watch the trailers for Skeleton Crew you may not even recognize it as a Star Wars property. There are no lightsabers and the main cast are all children. However, that’s what makes us so excited to see where this show takes us. If you’re a bit unsure about what Star Wars: Skeleton Crew even is, let’s catch you up on everything we know about it before release.
What’s your favorite Star Wars game?
We’re on the cusp of the latest game set in a galaxy far, far away’s release in Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws, and reviews have just dropped. So far, there is a wide range of opinions across the industry with some considering it one of the worst pieces of Star Wars media, while others praise it for being a fresh and unique take on tired tropes. At this point, Star Wars games have been around for almost as long as there’s been video games that explore all angles of this universe. There are the ones that follow the events of the core films, while others explore the time periods before, after, and even in between the films. There’s also almost no genre Star Wars hasn’t touched. There are first-person shooters, arcade games, flight simulators, racing games, action-adventure, RTS, and so many more. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a Star Wars dating sim out there, too. It’s much easier to narrow down which film is your favorite, but what about games? Of the dozens of Star Wars games release
What is Skeleton Crew about?
A more personal plot
Disney hasn’t let the cat out of the bag in terms of what Skeleton Crew’s big plot points will be, but we do know the general concept. The series will focus on a new set of young characters yearning for adventure that end up getting more than they bargained for. After making a strange discovery, they are whisked away into the far reaches of the galaxy and need to find a way home. Somewhere on this journey, the kids will meet a Force-sensitive character named Jod Na Nawood played by Jude Law.
Beyond those small details, all we know is that the creators wanted this show to hearken back to the classic coming-of-age films of the ’80s.
